    Hey, if you've got that much money too burn, why not buy both 😆 I vote the 2002ti

    I bought some recently off Amazon. Krylon K01403777 General Purpose Metallic Dull Aluminum Spray Paint $14.39 a can.

    But, it ain't just any blue coil. It's a special one designed for that Transistorized Ignition system. Just happens to be painted blue in color, but different than the common Bosch Blue coil with the built in resistor. Hence, the added external ballast...

    I received a harness and clips for my 1973 2002tii yesterday. Excellent quality. Thanks Dave!

    If you can find one, the Harada PM-13 works really well. They turn up on e-bay from time to time. See old threads:

    Amen to that. Our 3 "Ranch Cats" are all spayed or neutered. It was quite the ordeal trapping them and taking em' in to have it done. But it's done now and they still hunt...

    Since I'm onsite, I use old-school traps and sometime have to resort to using a glue trap. As gross as it might be, I prefer a confirmed kill... We also have lots of "ranch cats AKA feral cats" that keep most of the rodents under control. I try to not use any poison that might adversely affect my friends the hawks and owls... If they get near my car, glue trap... Peanut in the middle... Works every time...

    I'm a big fan of Pertronix... simple and has worked for me for many years... Old devices are cool to understand. I think the Judson is looking to solve the age old problem of burnt points similar to other early CD units (Delta Mark, etc.) Paging @Mike Self 😊

    I did a search on that Judson Electronic Magneto. Interesting piece.

    Not sure if this is what folks are talking about or not?...

    Made me think of grapes and how this would be a perfect car for one of those vineyards...

    I love the color of your car 👍

    One thing that is a nice feature of the FAQ web site is if you mark an ad as SOLD, it closes it to any further comments being added. I like that

    If you look at the MVP web site, it looks like they have a reproduction in the works... Hydrautical? Is that even a word? 😄

    For these I've always paid for the OEM ones from BMW. I think the last ones I got were made by Lemforder. But they cost around $150 per upper strut mount (BMW Part #31331110195) which is over 3 times the cost of some of the aftermarket ones.

    I remember when I used to pay to have my car serviced in the mid 80's that I'd get gas filters with the Purolator sticker on them. Then eventually they switched to Mahle gas filters. Used to get Purolator red oil filters and tii air filters too. I'd love to see a picture of the original spark plug wires with the diagnostic plug attached to the valve cover and the extra wire going to spark plug wire #1. I took those off my '74 tii a loing time ago, but still have them in a box some where. Also would be interested in seeing what the original '74tii vacuum hose looks like that comes from the plenum over to that '74tii specific air regulator unit that attaches to the air box.

    Installed the Holy Grail Labs fuse box in my '74tii. Easy installation and works as it should. There's a little toggle switch so you can turn OFF the LEDs so they don't drain the battery. Pretty cool. Battery Hooked up but car not started: Car running without headlights ON. Car running with low beams ON: Here's what it would look like if the low beams are ON and Fuse #9 (left side low beam) is blown or missing. Car turned OFF, LED toggle switch turned OFF. Cover on, All Good...

    I love that "Brake Failure" button on the '73s. I smile every time I see mine and push the button to test that the light still works. And the all black gauges are the coolest 🙂

    Received the fuse box for my '74tii from Holy Grail Labs. Easy install and works great! After checking out the LEDs, I toggled the little dip switch so that the LEDs don't stay ON. Pretty cool... Battery Hooked up, but car not started: Car Started without Headlights turned ON: Car Started with the Headlights (low beams) turned ON:

    Our brothers in Taiwan got you covered...

    I looked on my '74tii and it has a similar bracket that I think connects where the WUR connects to the Kugelfischer pump. Sorry hard to see and even harder to take a pic of it.

    Coupeking has these: 2002 Suspension Hooks SHOP.COUPEKING.COM Many of the cars I find have had these front ‘tow hooks’ broken off over the years. Initially mounted for the purpose of holding the car in transport from Germany to the decks of the ‘RoRo’ships used to bring them here, they were often used incorrectly to tow these cars. They...
